Chapter 28
Episode 28:
The King of Heroes, the court jester, and the monarch assassin.
Just like the title ‘Saint' that Player Maria acquired, the title that Yoosung acquired over the course of four seasons was not a meaningless decoration.
Title:《Court Jester)
-Rate.Unique
-Effect
. Lords keep a close eye on the title holder and reward them accordingly whenever they please them.
. The higher the provocation value, the higher the chance of obtaining good rewards.
- Description
. A title given to a contractor of the Clown Lord. Depending on their actions, players with this title can provide entertainment to the monarchs sitting on the Throne of End and gain their favor.
However, given that historically most court jesters did not end well, there is ultimately only a small difference between the monarch's favor and his wrath.
Clown Lord.
The world of the tower is still full of monarchs who are shrouded in mystery, but among them, this monarch was the one whose true identity was unknown.
[The provocation value increases phenomenally.]
The laughter of countless monarchs was heard. Beyond the world of towers is the court of kings called the Throne of End. It was a light that resonated right there.
What is so funny? To be honest, Yoosung couldn't tell. I had no intention of intentionally doing something I didn't want to do to gain the favor of the monarchs.
And that may have been the reason why the Clown Lord held out his hand towards the shooting star
.
[The Shadow Lord grants ‘Shadow Skill Card Pack (rare grade or higher)’!]
[The Assassin Lord grants ‘Assassination Skill Card Pack (rare grade or higher)’!] [The
Guide Lord grants ‘Pathfinder’s Sixth Sense ( Six sense of Pathfinder Rank-S)' God bless you!]
‘Huh?'
Yooseong quickly held his breath as he counted the rewards given by the three monarchs. The skill packs for the two attributes given by Shadow and Assassin Lord, who are usually favored by Yoosung, are also flawless. That's because it's above rare level.
But there was something else that caught the shooting star's sight more than that.
The protection bestowed by the guide monarch was indeed S-grade protection.
“Breaking news! There is now a huge dating rumor between the Player King of Heroes and a saint...
“Who would have imagined? Could it be that the world’s hero king and saint...”
However, there was no time to focus on the fact, and the voices of reporters pouring in from all directions were informing us of the seriousness of the situation.
- “Spend a hot night at the 6th tier tower” The King of Heroes officially announces his stance on the dating rumors between the Saint and the King of Heroes... -
“I’m so glad I have you darling” The whole world is turned upside down by the title of the Saint
- This has been a topic that has been raised consistently since the 3rd season The huge dating rumor finally turns out to be true...
That's because the other person was the saint. The provocation value was astounding, so it was understandable that it would pierce the sky.
“...Isn’t it a bit late to correct that we are just good friends?”
Yoosung glanced at Maria and asked, and Maria smiled quietly as she looked at him.
It was a smile that was extremely kind and kind, like that of a saint.
An endless number of monsters were pouring in from beyond the horizon. Predators without ideology or justice, with sharp claws, thorny spines, and grotesquely torn jaws. It was a literal monster.
And two players stood in front of the endless army of monsters.
When Maria, the king of saints and heroes, proposed a joint attack on the 6th tier tower, there was no way they could only attack one tower and then defeat it.
Two top players form a party together and attack the 6th tier tops in France, monopolizing the rewards. Because that was what Maria first suggested to Yoosung.
“That saintess. I am truly sorry...
“Oh my. “Why are you doing this, darling?”
Yoosung cautiously opened his mouth, and Maria smiled sweetly and asked back.
“Oh no, it’s nothing.”
With that cruel smile on his face, Yoosung blurted out his words and turned his head.
Kieeeeek!
Hearing the monsters' ear-piercing screams, Yooseong adjusted his frost sword and grabbed it. It was that time.
Maria stretched out her arms towards the army of monsters. Pure white magic swirled beneath her feet, and the light of dawn brightened the dusk.
“Get out of the way.”
“yes.”
As soon as the shooting star quickly lowered his head, a pillar of light rushed over his head. The light of extinction that returns all things to nothingness began to strike like an indiscriminate bombardment.
A flash of hero skill extinction.
As a bonus, a few strands of Yooseong's hair were also caught up in the light and disappeared.
Just because she usually performs a supporting role with skill settings focused on healing and buff defense, that doesn't mean she can't fight.
She can switch to attack skills or weapons at any time and act as a ‘saint of the battlefield'.
And as he watched Maria pouring endless bombardments of light at the monsters, Yoosung cautiously opened his mouth.
“That saintess.”
“Why are you doing this darling?”
“That buff...
A really awkward silence has returned.
Some time after that.
[Cleared the Tower of Horde Defense!]
[‘Random Skill Card Pack (Rare or higher)’ as a reward for clearing Tier 6 Tower.]...] [
Cleared the Tower of Monster Hunting!]
[Cleared the Tower of Frozen Land of the Dead. I did it!] [I cleared the Tower of Sand Hell!] [With bossing to clear the 6th tier top...] (omitted) After
two top players teamed up and conquered a total of 5 tier 6 towers, the outside world was already at 1. About a month passed.
The King of Heroes, Kang Yu-seong, was still ranked first on the ranking board, with Saint Mary in second place.
It was an unusual surge in ranking for a saint who did not place much importance on growth at the beginning of the season.
And every time the two players worked together to conquer the tower, reporters from around the world started pouring out all kinds of trashy articles about the two's dating rumors.
— Escape from Love to Tier 6 Top? Close coverage of the honeymoon of two couples!
- This hero couple is also different. We kill two birds with one stone by protecting world peace and sending
a honeymoon.
“Ha, I knew it would end up like this.”
After scanning the articles on the portal site one by one, Yoosung shrugged his shoulders.
A month has already passed since the Saint and the King of Heroes first conquered the tier 6 tower. In the meantime, the growth of the two people was slowly reaching a critical point. Now, the growth at the top of Tier 6 has reached a level where it is not very noticeable.
Therefore, no matter how much they have the protection of a saint, it would be difficult to tolerate players from other countries monopolizing their country's tower rewards.
“Well, I thought it was going to end up like this anyway.”
“No, then why are you so angry? “It’s going to be like this anyway… no, it’s nothing.”
Maria also shrugged her shoulders as if she had given up early. Yoosung was about to continue speaking at those words, but he quickly closed his mouth when she saw her smile.
One way or another, people in the world love gossip, and even if Yoosung had said something, it wouldn't have made a difference.
“I envy Cham Yu-seong.”
“What do you mean?” “How
can you be
so incredibly irresponsible ?”
“Is this a compliment?”
“It’s a compliment.”
Maria grinned and Yoosung remained silent, dumbfounded.
“Still, I’m glad that Yoosung is a trustworthy player.”
“I will do it.”
Yoosung responded to Maria’s next words.
The goal is to team up with top rankers and attack the top of a specific country with all your might. This is the most ideal growth method for random strategy. However, there was only one reason why most top rankers did not act that way.
Because we can't trust each other.
The countries are different, the skin color is different, the ideologies are different, and the religions are different.
The person extending a hand must be able to trust the other person 100%, and conversely, the other person needs to be confident that it is not a trap.
“Please enter carefully.”
“Then I’ll see you later.”
Not long after that, the lobby of the Charles de Gaulle port in Paris.
The two players, whose identities were hidden, exchanged a brief conversation and then turned their backs. It was right then.
“Thank you, Yoosung.”
“What'?”
“For working hard for this world.”
Yoosung remained silent at those words. There was a brief silence, and at the end of the silence, Yoosung spoke.
“Come visit our country later and we can push the tower together. At the very least, I will at least take the children from the saint's guild on a bus. “Try spam wrapped in kimchi.”
“...I’ll go and see it then.”
At first glance, they were the two most incompatible people. Therefore, it was trust that could finally be built.
After that, after Yoosung's back disappeared beyond the departure gate, Maria also turned her back.
After about a month of growth, the growth has come to an end. It was time for both players to finally check the fruits of their growth.
On each stage.
〈List of unclaimed rewards〉
Random
equipment ticket (
rare
or higher
) Assassination Skill Card Pack (Rare grade or higher) Random Skill Card Pack (Heroic grade or higher)
Some time after returning home. One day in February.
From May to June, relative to veteran players, rookie players received rewards that they would not have been able to obtain even at the end of the season.
This game is not equal. Therefore, the faster you run at the beginning of the season, the more the snowball will roll.
“Opening the equipment artifact ticket.”
In the endless pouring light, the 6th tier top prizes began to reveal themselves one after another.
[Wow rare equipment!]
[《Redfire Ladder Armor》...]
“Hey.”
It was a protective gear. It was meaningless because I liked the legendary room gear ‘Golden Fanaticism' that I was already wearing better.
[Wow rare equipment!]
《Necklace of Fire Resistance》
- Grade . Rare Accessory
- Performance
. Fire Resistance +
“This is better.”
As soon as I saw the accessory, I replaced it with the ‘Necklace of Vitality’ that Yoosung was wearing.
Being favored by the Frost Lord means having a lot to deal with with the Flame Lord's contractors. Just like when I dealt with the professor right away.
Therefore, it is better to have fire resistance, which definitely helps in battle, rather than recovery, which is very minimal.
Next, I opened the artifact ticket, but as expected, Frozen Heart's performance was good, so it didn't mean much.
However, from the beginning, equipment and artifact tickets were just appetizers.
The skill card pack you will see from now on was the real loot that Yoosung obtained while conquering the tier 6 tower.
“Opening skill packs in batches.”
In addition to the seven skills you already have, an additional eight skill cards are added.
However, you cannot use all 15 skill cards.
The maximum number of skill cards a player can equip is seven.
Therefore, in order to use a new skill card, it is necessary to unlock the existing skill card and configure new skill settings.
Three random skills of rare level or higher. There are two card packs with set attributes (Assassination Shadow') and two card packs where attributes can be arbitrarily assigned.
Finally, one pack of random hero-level skill cards.
There is absolutely no shortage of skill settings that are 180 degrees different from the settings I have been using so far.
At the beginning of the season, even completing all seven skills is a difficult task, but the story is different after completing them.
The player's ‘true skill' is revealed depending on how he sets up the seven skill cards that can be used.
‘Until now, it wasn't a deck, but a bunch of cards.'
It was time to build a real skill deck.
